<h1><a name="top"></a>NairnMPM and NairnFEA Input Command Files</h1>

<p>The <code>NairnMPM</code> and <code>NairnFEA</code> calculations are controlled by <code>XML</code> commands file. Although you can write an edit raw <code>XML</code> files it is usually preferrable to use the visual front end application that supports a scripting language. In brief, you write a script and then have those applications prepare an <code>XML</code> file. The applications can run and visualize calculations or you can save the <code>XML</code> command file itself and copy to a server for running remote calculations.</p>

<h1>Input Command File Helps</h1>

<p>Complete help on both scripting commands and <code>XML</code> commands is available on line in the <a href="http://osupdocs.forestry.oregonstate.edu/index.php">OSUPDocs wiki</a>:</p>

<p>The above documentation is only available on line. For times you cannot access the internet, the visual from end Java app called <a href="http://osupdocs.forestry.oregonstate.edu/index.php/NairnFEAMPMViz">NairnFEAMPMViz</a> has help that briefly describes all scripting commands (the <code>NairnFEAMPMViz.jar</code> application file is included in the project check out). Similarly, the Mac visual front end call <a href="http://osupdocs.forestry.oregonstate.edu/index.php/NairnFEAMPM">NairnFEAMPM</a> has a help window with documentation of all scripting commands.</p>
